dc.description.abstract | The thesis study how bank branch closures affect firm performance and financing,
with a special focus on rural areas in Norway and the savings bank branches role
in these areas. To analyze the topic, we use a Difference-in-Difference regression
model on a sample consisting of Norwegian independent firms operating between
2001 and 2015. We find that firm financing and performance is in some cases
affected negatively by bank branch closures, whereas the results are even more
apparent in rural areas. Savings bank branches seem to be more critical to startups
in terms of providing capital. | nb_NO |
